"The Tang army in the central phalanx did not care about crossbow arrows that could easily penetrate the armor. They approached us neatly with two feet long spears. Everyone looked so terrible, as terrible as evil ghosts in hell, and rushed towards us." Many years later, Liu Changxian, the military academy of the Xiongjie Army of Song State, told Xinding, who had just entered the imperial guards again and again that he had just entered the imperial guards. Time washed away the shame in the hearts of the losers, but as the legendary color of the victor became worse, he was defeated by the figures marked in history. Those who were once defeated would also have a sense of honor to participate in the historical process.

However, during the battle that took place on this cold morning in April of the eighth year of Kaibao in the Song Dynasty, the hearts of most of the soldiers of the Song army and Wu Yue army were always firmly swept by fear, feeling neither shame nor honor. For the Yunqi Xiongjie Army, who had been through war for a long time, they were used to seeing enemies who were fearless, but they had never seen such a cold opponent to death. The Divine Guards advanced with neat steps. Although the central phalanx did not make any sound, they put huge psychological pressure on the Wu Yue and Song soldiers on the front line. The concentrated and continuous arrow rain attack of the Tang army crossbow soldiers increased this pressure. Many Wu Yue soldiers screamed and were penetrated by crossbow arrows. The dense and continuous arrow rain of strong crossbows had terrifying lethality at close range. In contrast, the calmness and calmness of the opponent's enemy under the same arrow rain was shocking.

When the enemy was still fifty steps away, the Tang army formation made a neat sound and shouted "kill". All the soldiers accelerated and ran under the leadership of the officers, pressing towards the other side like a moving hill.

The two armies of Wuyue, Zhenwu, were arranged in the main formation, and were almost instantly knived a huge depression by the central phalanx of Tang Army, which had a huge impact. Accompanied by the elite Tang Army holding shields on both sides of the central phalanx, taking the opportunity to rush into the depths of the Wuyue Army formation that was torn apart. Before the war, they carried out three-array rotation training according to Chen De's requirements. After one team of soldiers was exhausted, they were replaced by the second team of soldiers, which ensured that the horizontal swordsmen who were rushing in front could get a chance to rest. The Wuyue Army soldiers who were fighting against him had to withstand waves of attacks from the Tang Army who were raising their strength. What's more, the Wuyue Army soldiers who were chasing here had already been overdrawn in physical strength, and the close contact at this time was even more at a disadvantage.

The selected horizontal sword hand played the role of connecting the central square formation and the two wings of the Tiande Army. Witnessing the Tang army's middle part of the battle formation and retreated step by step by step by step, the Wu Yue army formation on both wings was inevitably loose. Qian Jiao, King of Wu Yue, originally ordered the army on both wings to squeeze the relatively small number of Tang army into the middle, and even tried to cut out the Tang spearmen who rushed into the Wu Yue army's formation and squeezed them into a narrow space to strangle them. However, the battle at the junction was the Tang army's superiority. The torn front quickly became huge ulcers under the attack of the Tang army's hand. Many thought that they were not ready to go to the battlefield and the Wu Yue army soldiers were in a hurry to respond and suffered heavy casualties. They cried and shouted to their parents.

Song general Ding Deyu had already led more than 2,000 imperial guards to form another formation outside the Wu Yue army's formation. Since the black clouds were watching, Ding Deyu had never dared to join the cavalry to attack the flanks and behind the Tang army. After the frontal battle started, facing the Wu Yue army retreating step by step. Zhang Gao, the captain of the Xiongjie Army, saw Ding Deyu's face getting darker and darker, leaned forward and said, "General Ding, the Wu Yue army may not be able to withstand it. If we do not see the opportunity, once the black clouds are thrown into the battlefield, we may not even have a chance to retreat."

Ding Deyu turned his head and didn't say anything for a long time, as if he was still hesitating. Zhang Gao said again: "After this battle, if the court blames him, we can testify that the King of Wu Yue was eager to be conquered and was ambushed by the enemy. We retreated all our troops, so we should have made no mistakes and made merits!"

Ding Deyu nodded and sighed: "The defeat is like a mountain of fall. Our group of more than a thousand weak soldiers are useless. It is better to retreat to Changzhou." After saying that, he ordered the entire army to turn south and retreat slowly. After retreating from the flanks to the Wuyue Army formation that was fighting with the Song army, he quickly abandoned the Wuyue Army, which was fighting hard, and fled south. During this period, Heiyun sent five hundred cavalry troops to follow the Song army not far away and near, and monitored them to push out of the battlefield and then returned. At this time, the Tang army on the battlefield shouted loudly under the command of the officers: "Look, the Song army has fled!"

The Wu Yue army, who was already fighting for trapped beasts, was immediately in chaos. Except for the central front where King Qian personally supervised the formation, the two wings collapsed almost instantly, and the escaped soldiers began to roll backwards like an avalanche. Many Wu Yue soldiers were even unable to see the faces of the Tang army, and then fled south. But it was not easy to escape at this time. Most of the elite Wu Yue army soldiers were involved in the hand-to-hand combat with the Tang army.

Kill, once you turn around and escape, if you sell your back to the Tang army, the Tiande army on both sides feels that the enemy's resistance in front is suddenly weakened, and the speed of advancement is greatly accelerated. The local fronts of the Tang and Wu armies gradually move from the Tang army's central phalanx into the Wu army formation, and become nearly 20,000 central troops in Wu Yue, slowly being surrounded and squeezed by the Tang army. They feel that the Wu Yue soldiers, who are enemies from all directions, feel that the panic in their hearts becomes stronger and stronger, and their resistance to the Tang army becomes more and more panic and disorderly.

Qian Jiao, the king of Wu Yue, looked at his army collapsed slightly with a bad expression. Many brave soldiers were no longer fighting for victory, but for the more backs before he died. Sun Chengyou, the general in charge of the front line, was no longer in the formation and had not even snatched back the body. After identifying the position of the general flag of the Wu Yue army, the Tang army launched an increasingly concentrated attack here. Xu Jing, the entourage officer of the east end, had already entered the battle bare shirt, and was like a mad tiger to resist waves of Tang army offensives. The tooth army around him was less and less. The last Wu Yue army often had to resist the siege of several Tang army and the arrows shot from afar at the same time.

"Damn it, Ding Deyu, this bastard, can only brag on weekdays, but he ran away first when fighting." Seeing that the left and right wings had completely collapsed, Wang Yan, the commander of the Zhenguo Army, reached out to pull over Qian Jiao's reins and shouted: "Protect Qian Wang, retreat first, everyone form a formation to stop the Tang army!" After saying that, he didn't care whether Qian Jiao agreed or not, and slashed hard on Qian Jiao's buttocks. The horse was so painful that it was a neighing. He spread his four hooves and ran south with Qian Jiao. More than a dozen followed Qian Jiao, who were following Qian Jiao.

The guards and cavalry generals followed. The guards in charge of the king's flag were hesitating whether to escape with Qian Jiao. They were angry and Wang Yan grabbed the flag and inserted it on the ground. Wang Yan turned around and shouted loudly to the imperial camp's personal army: "Everyone has been deeply favored by Qian. Today is the time to repay you. I will guard here and protect King Qian." After saying that, he pulled out the golden sword at his waist and stood firmly under the king's flag. The soldiers around him were excited by him, and they also pulled out swords and guns to surround the king's flag.

After the Tang army watching on the hillside in the distance reported to Chen De that a group of Wu Yue people fled from the central army on horseback, Chen De immediately ordered Xin Gu to lead the fifty cavalry army to chase King Qian, and ordered Li Si to lead the army camp to shout in unison: "King Qian has left, Wu Yue has been defeated, and those who surrender will not die!" The troops responded loudly over and over again. Although the Wu Yue army did not believe it, they might not believe it in their hearts, but they began to become more and more panic. Especially the soldiers who were close to the central army, they looked back and found that the central army was only surrounded by the central army.

The vicious soldiers of the Imperial Camp were filled with fierce and evil soldiers, and there was no such thing as Qian Wang's elegant figure. Most of them couldn't help but feel sorry for them. Many people began to run away. In order not to let the soldiers behind block the way, some soldiers ran and shouted: "King Qian is gone, everyone, run!" The general was the courage of the army. The news that King Qian escaped completely collapsed the morale of the Wu Yue army, which had already been shaky, completely collapsed. Many Wu Yue soldiers threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground, regardless of whether the Tang army would kill prisoners and eat people, and no longer resisted.

Xin Gu grew up outside the border and was a horse thief. He led the cavalry all the way to chase King Qian along the way. Because his horsemanship was extremely skilled, there were only a few cavalrymen who could keep up with him. Fortunately, his riding and shooting skills were also excellent. He met the Wu Yue guards who had broken the rear and shot them from afar. Poor these Qian King's close guards, who died before they could use their skills. Finally, they finally caught up with King Wu Yue Qian Jiao, who fell to the ground because of the horse's hooves slid.

Qian Jiao, wearing a golden crown and a purple robe, sat on the saddle again in a panic. Seeing that there were only three cavalrymen led by Xin Gu, he drew out his sword and said to the guards beside him: "If we only care about running around, we will be caught by the enemy sooner or later. We need to defeat his vanguard and retreat calmly." The remaining seven guards claimed yes in unison, so everyone turned their heads, arranged a vanguard formation, and turned around to kill Xin Gu who was chasing him.

Unexpectedly, Xin Gu seemed rough, but he didn't fight them head-on. With a whistle, he actually led three cavalry to turn their horses away. Seeing this man coming in a fierce manner, King Qian did not dare to take the battle. He was laughing secretly that he was being chased by such timid people as rats for a long time. Xin Gu suddenly turned around and shot three arrows in a row. The two knights around King Qian fell down. Everyone was frightened and stopped chasing them quickly. Xin Gu bent his bow and put the arrows on the strings, and the arrows were like meteors chasing the moon. Soon after, he had shot all the guards around King Qian. He bent his bow and arrows, and only rode his horse with his feet.

Although the King of Wu Yue Qian Jiao was frightened, he still held his sword in his hand and threatened loudly: "I am Qian Jiao, the King of Wu Yue. If you kill me, you will definitely teach you that you will not be buried in death!"

It would be fine if he didn't say this, but this aroused a fierce aura on Xin Gu's body. He smiled and said, "Even the Great Khitan Emperor, I'll kill you too. What's the point of killing you?" He used his legs and urged the horse to rush towards Qian Jiao. His right thumb loosened, and the wolf-toothed arrow shot out like a meteor. Qian Jiao, the king of Wu Yue, could not dodge, and when he reacted, he could only cover his throat with his hands and could no longer make a sound. Xin Guchi closed his bow and drew his sword when he was approaching, and without waiting for Qian Jiao's body to land, he cut off Qian Jiao's head wearing a golden helmet with a scimitar at the moment when the two horses were intertwined, and put it into the skin behind the saddle as if nothing had happened.
